What Guests Are Saying
Rock Creek Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful setting, with well-maintained sites, excellent access to hiking trails, and the calming sounds of the nearby river. While some facilities, like the pit toilets and lighting, could use improvement, many campers appreciate the campground's cleanliness and the absence of crowds. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking to disconnect and enjoy nature, despite some noise from ATVs and occasional maintenance issues.

Campground must have recently been flooded, as there was trash everywhere, debri piled up in the sites. Spots 9,10,and 11 are walk in over a bridge, this wasn't specified in the add as we sleep in our van and wasn't able to get to our site. I know the bathrooms are just pit toilets but they were FULL of bugs and hadn't been cleaned in months. Save your money and stay elsewhere.

Was just a short trip for me, but it was a lovely spot. Would've appreciated better use of red lights or at least more respectful flashlight use (keeping them aimed low) from others in the area after dark, since I'd mostly chosen the campground for the dark sky, but that's not really a problem with the campground itself. The campground itself was quite nice. No problems with any of the amenities offered.

Stayed in campsite 1 which is outside the loop with the other sites which was awesome, especially if you want to feel secluded. They have a fire ring, food box, parking, and tent site with no electricity hook up, also have bathroom facility located close to all campsites.

Everything was just what we wanted… an escape from the everyday world. Peaceful waterways, small fun trails to explore and bigger ones to take on as a challenge. The restroom was better maintained this time as well! Watch out for the wildlife! Lol. We saw eastern scorpions and snakes alike!

Awesome spot, but would benefit from some kind of ranger/official presence. Both times I’ve camped here, there was someone already in my spot. And last time a huge party raged into the night. Which, hey, party on or whatever, but don’t keep a campground of people up all hours.
